Ephesians 5:22-27

22Wives, place yourselves under your husbands’ authority as you have placed yourselves under the Lord’s authority.

23The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. It is his body, and he is its Savior.

24As the church is under Christ’s authority, so wives are under their husbands’ authority in everything.

25Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.

26He did this to make the church holy by cleansing it, washing it using water along with spoken words.

27Then he could present it to himself as a glorious church, without any kind of stain or wrinkle—holy and without faults.
